President Trump has declared that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist. JD Vance has gone into a mode of full time denigration of the victim of the crime, and he has been showing this new camera phone video taken by Jonathan Ross as he murders good; she is smiling and cheerful and assures Ross that she’s not mad at him, and then he shoots her and calls her a “fucking bitch”. MAGA seems to think Ross is vindicated by this.
I’m going to the local protest in Cyrus, about 9 miles from Morris. This is kind of surprising: Cyrus has a population of 300. It’s a tiny, mostly Republican town, and they are hosting a protest march here in rural red state Minnesota? I don’t expect a large crowd at all, but it’s a sign of the president’s fading support that it’s happening there.
Be safe. I’d lend you a bulletproof vest if I could, but if they saw that they would probably just shoot you in the head.
How soon The Right forgets the rules they impose. If you speak ill of a shooting victim, even if your statements are accurate and you quote them verbatim, you should lose your job.
If the murder victim was called “Good” in a movie, they’d say it was too on-the-nose.
This is deeply disturbing.
This guy was an MP. While not the same as ordinary police, he participated in work interviewing many ICE officers and I found his comments illuminating.

No one expects to be shot.
A lot of people in the USA will actually be shot though. More will be there when someone nearby is shot.
I do expect to add to my FBI file though.
The FBI is labeling all protesters and protest organizations as domestic terrorists.
I’ve been to 6 demonstrations so far and am a minor volunteer for the local resistance organization.
I have a card for what to do when we see ICE and a whistle that is supposed to do something.
The same veteran just found a different suspicious DJT activity.

As we saw from the video, they aim at the head regardless of circumstances.
No surprises here.

When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the MAGATs lost no time in politicizing it to cram Christian Nationalism down our throats. I suggest good Americans do the same with the unnecessary death of Good. Renees Nicole Good is now the face of resistance to American GOP Christian Nationalism and authoritarianism. Make her death count for something.
Looking for a protest, nearest is tomorrow in Iowa City, near the Old Capital.
Something to share, my first success with AI art. https://chatgpt.com/s/m_69626fe36f348191b241aec7bedf46d0
One of the local authorities has something to say about Ross.
This was clearly a murder.
Investigate, send it to a grand jury, arrest this killer, and put him on trial.
That is far more Due Process than his victim got.
Guy is an idiot and a coward.
He shot an unarmed, unresisting 37 year old woman at point blank range.
I’ve read that Renee Good was a white, Christian, American citizen, which are three reasons why Republicans are more likely to care. The murder of an innocent human being should be enough for them to care in itself though.

As the victim was given conflicting commands, I suppose we should just hope for the right roll of the dice the next time a federal officer feels emasculated.
Well you just be freakin’ careful.
Your nation is at the point where public, straight-up murder is appreciated, justified AND unpunished. Plus, a robust part of the citizenry approve, nay applaud:

frankly, I cannot see this evolving in any good way, and you have still three years (being optimistic) with you psycho prez.
Sorry, “your psycho prez”.
I wouldn’t trust boingboing as reliable news. It’s pretty obvious that bots and trolls are out in force, filling the comments on every social media platform. On the bright side, MAGA is dead. Unfortunately it’s now a shambling zombie, lurching around erratically, killing and terrorizing people.
When the Civil War started, MN had literally just become a State and the Governor Ramsey was in Washington DC. He pledged our support to President Lincoln, and the 1st Minnesota Infantry went on to play pivotal roles including the win at Gettysburg, against horrific odds.
We still have the captured flag. It’s proudly displayed at the history center.
